I am a college-level tournament angler, who has been fishing for as long as I can remember. I love fishing with other committed anglers to further my fishing knowledge with new ones to pass on the knowledge that I’ve learned over the years. I would be excited to take you out should you give me the opportunity. Hope to see you on the water!

The boat is a brand new Vexus DVX multi-species boat with 4 sonar screens and 5 different types of transducers including a forward view unit which has changed the game. On the back, there are two shallow water anchors to help with dock fishing and staying on top of fish.

Capt. Tanner runs trips out of Grays Bay, Minneapolis aboard a 22 ft Vexus boat. These waters are known for Musky, Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling, spinning or bottom fishing. With 4 years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
